Grilled apricots

Back in Gothenburg, I limited myself to six slow kilometres of running in the morning, a short Teams meeting on the veranda about a possible grant application, and a tiny can from Birichino in Monterey (it is the 26th of June and Breakthrough Season after all, even as this was the very last Dialogue). But I did go all in with the apricots and the lake swimming, first a morning swim with Eddie and then an afternoon swim with William. And grilling apricots with lemon cream cheese and prosciutto simply cannot go wrong.

As for the 20th anniversary of The Death of Environmentalism that I just missed at Cavallo Point, I will end this post with a few words from Ted Nordhaus' latest dispatch:

“And yet, the thing that is most remarkable about the Death of Environmentalism, the reason that it has endured, is that despite getting many of the particulars wrong, it got almost all of the big questions right. Global warming is centrally about building a new world, not restricting the old one. It is primarily a technology, investment, and infrastructure challenge, not a regulatory problem. Success requires swimming with, not against, the currents of social, economic, and technological modernization.”
